Abstract

The research of collocation translation is aimed to investigate; (1) the accuracy of the collocation translation (2) the equivalence of the collocation translation (3) the shift of collocation translation (4) translation strategies used in the collocation translation. This research used the qualitative method with content analysis. There are five collocation types to be analized; (1) Semantic Collocation, (2) Lexico-Grammatical Collocation, (3) Verb Collocation, (4) Noun Collocation, and (5) Adjective Collocation. In the data analysis, there are 13 collocations chosen based on five types of collocation analyzed. Some dictionaries are used to analyze the accuracy of the collocation translation. Description and explanation are given based on the data of collocation collected. Providing recommendation is the last step of collocation translation. Based on 59 collocations analized, it is found that there are accurate collocation and inaccurate collocation. The inaccuracy occurs because the translator used the expressive function so that the collocation translation will be readable in the context of the sentence. There is also insignificant collocation which is not translated because the translator use the omission strategy (deletion). There are shift in the process of translation; (1) transposition 1 (the location of adjective), (2) transposition 2 (the union of two words into one word), (3) transposition 3 (plural into singular). Formal equivalence and word choice are found in some collocations translated. There are also some collocation translated by naturalisation and transliteration technique. And in few other collocations, equivalence, transposition and translation strategy are used simultaneously. Differences in word classes also occur in some translated collocations.
